Love Island's Shaughna Phillips showcases her six stone weight loss in stunning lingerie transformation snaps
Shaughna Phillips looked incredible as she showed off her nearly six stone weight loss in an impressive before and after snap. The former Love Island star, 31, has been working hard on her diet and fitness in recent years and has gone from 97kg (15st) to 61kg (9.6st). The influencer embarked on her weight loss journey following the birth of her daughter, Lucia, in 2023. In her latest post, Shaughna shared a photo of herself in white lingerie alongside another taken 14 months later after losing the weight. Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Let the record reflect, although I've dropped a few dress sizes, I will ALWAYS love a high waisted full brief.' The star was inundated with messages from followers who wrote: 'Well done'... 'You look happy with your new body that's all that matters lovely'... 'Well done you look amazing. Determined to be the strongest version of herself for her little one, she ditched old habits in favour of a disciplined meal plan and quick-fire boxing-inspired workouts. It comes after Shaughna, who was told previously she was clinically obsese, showed off her figure in a white bikini as she shared before and after shots of her weight loss. She posted three side-by-side pictures of herself on her weight loss journey - on day one, nine months in and just over a year later. She wrote over the top of it: 'This is me on day one fronting it out, showing sass I didn't feel.' The video then skipped to her at the end of her weight loss journey as she wore a similar bikini, showing off her weight loss. She added: 'Just hoping I'd get to here one day and still kinda shook that did.' The Love Island star has dropped five dress sizes after starting on her fitness and diet plan and is now a healthier nine stone 10lbs. Shaughna recently addressed claims she's used Ozempic to slim down, after stunning fans with her weight loss. She was hit by accusations that she used the drug Ozempic, which was previously used to treat diabetes but in recent years has been used by stars as an appetite suppressant. But the star has hit back at the claims, telling The Mirror: 'I love food way too much.' She went on to add: 'There's a new fad every other year. It just so happens that this is the fad this time around, and after I have lost weight. 'The thing is, it just coincided with the time when I had my daughter Lucia, and I had this baby weight, and everyone was commenting on it. 'Had it of been a few years prior, everyone would have been saying I had a BBL, or some magical liposuction that completely transformed how I looked.' Shaughna went on to add that she is 'terrified' by the prospect of the side effects of using Ozempic.

‘I was in a terrible alternate world': The tragic guitarist who rejuvenated Noughties indie-rock
Noel Gallagher may not have appreciated how big a compliment he was paying Babyshambles when he described the chaotic early 2000s indie band as the 'opposite of Oasis'. 'We were trying to make it big, and they are trying to make it small,' he said of a group intimately associated with the 'landfill indie' scene, and who are today mourning the death of their guitarist Patrick Walden at age 46. Babyshambles were, as Gallagher intimated, best enjoyed in pokey clubs and dingy dive bars – where you could see the whites of their blood-shot eyes and lose yourself in their hedonistic energy. But while they were regarded as the sole creative property of Pete Doherty, the troubled pied-piper of that decade's indie scene, it was Walden's dexterous and vulnerable musicianship that propelled hits such as Killamangiro and F--- Forever. He was also the member most uneasy in the spotlight, and they were never the same after he left in 2006, craving the privacy that he had to give up as a consequence of existing in the same orbit as the then outrageously famous Doherty. Centred on Camden's warren of pubs, clubs and back alleys, the London indie circuit of the post-Britpop era was awash with hard drugs, and so it was no surprise that Doherty and Walden were united by more than musical chemistry. When Doherty formed Babyshambles in 2003, having been fired from his previous band, The Libertines, due to his unhinged behaviour, his substance abuse moved up a level – and Walden was with him all the way. For instance, when the guitarist failed to show up for a Guardian interview in November 2005, it was hinted that he couldn't leave the house because he owed his drug dealers money. Walden was born in Islington, north London, in 1978. He first encountered drugs at boarding school in Surrey and started using heroin at the age of 18. In Doherty, he had a natural bedfellow – a fiercely creative spirit likewise in the throes of addiction. 'Pete is really charming, and I felt he had a romantic idea of drugs,' he would say. 'We would write songs for days on end with minimal sleep, propped up with heroin and crack. We wrote songs so easily together. Creativity was pouring out of him.' But if a mess off-stage, under the spotlight, Walden's guitar playing was visceral and propulsive. It is a testament to his talent that he so effortlessly replaced Doherty's Libertines foil and musical soul-mate, Carl Barât. If anything, Babyshambles were a more complete package than the early version of The Libertines. Doherty's sensitive vocals and his William Blake-inspired lyrics made them famous, but it was Walden's guitar that held the whole thing together. Unfortunately, not even a guitarist of his talents could compensate for Doherty's increasing unpredictability. Drugs were the unofficial theme of the group's 2005 debut, Down in Albion – a song called Pipedown was not a plea to lower your voice but rather a cry for help from Doherty, who rarely left the house without his crack pipe. That dependency doomed Babyshambles even as they were building momentum. A show at London's Astoria in December 2004 ended in a riot after the group failed to show following a two-hour delay. With 2am beckoning, the sell-out audience took their frustration out on the venue. 'The curtains were torn down, drinks were thrown, the drum kit was smashed and essentially the entire contents of the stage were destroyed,' an eyewitness told the NME at the time. 'The security forced the kids back to the other side of the barrier.' Six months later, they blasted themselves in the foot a second time after doing the impossible and scandalising even Oasis with their bad behaviour. Babyshambles were famously set to support the Britpop heroes on a tour across the UK, only for Doherty to become marooned in America, where he was celebrating the birthday of his then-girlfriend, Kate Moss. Having missed the opening date in Southampton, they were unceremoniously fired by the Gallaghers. However, even at the height of their notoriety (and peak of their bad behaviour), they were still an amazing live band. When I saw them play in Dublin in September 2006 – several months after Walden's departure – they put in a tight and polished performance, topped off with an unplanned cameo by The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, whom Doherty had spotted in the crowd and then called up for a song. The set ended with Killamangiro – minus Walden's guitar but with supermodel Moss popping out from the wings to sing backing vocals. Life after Babyshambles was tough for Walden, who felt he needed to get away from Doherty for the good of his health. He was persuaded to come back in 2007 on the proviso that the tour bus would be drug-free. When that proved not to be the case, he dropped out again. He struggled with addiction for years afterwards. In 2010, he was found guilty of receiving stolen goods and drug possession in Sutton in south London after a security guard spotted him acting 'suspiciously' in a pharmacy. The court heard that he suffered from depression and had developed a dependency on methadone. Later, he turned to legal highs – but, if anything, they had an even more serious impact on his mental health. 'With the new drugs, there was no line between fantasy and reality. I was in a terrible alternate world. The sky would be playing songs at me, spelling out my name. I was so petrified,' he said in 2017. As Walden fought his battles, Doherty moved to France, started a family and walked away from drugs. Having reconciled with Barât, in 2024 The Libertines put out perhaps their best album yet, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, followed this year by an acclaimed Doherty solo LP. When promoting his new projects, Doherty was asked about the possibility of a Babyshambles tour to mark the 20th anniversary of Down in Albion. He said a reunion was 'on the cards' – but with Walden's premature death, the Babyshambles story has surely reached its tragic endpoint.

King Charles beams as he arrives at Ascot for fifth consecutive day alongside Queen Camilla in horse drawn carriage
King Charles was pictured beaming and waving at crowds as he arrived at Royal Ascot on Saturday, for the event's fifth and final day. The event, which is considered one of the most important in the racing calendar, always attracts huge crowds - and several members of the Royal Family. And the monarch's fifth appearance in a raw showed how important he sees the Berkshire attraction. Despite the roasting 28C heat, Charles - who has been undergoing regular weekly treatment for cancer more than a year - dressed in his finery as he joined the other equestrian enthusiasts at the racecourse. Over the week, he has been seen donning a traditional grey suit, complete with tails, a waistcoat, and the obligatory top hat. The Royal Family - who are known to adore equestrian sports - make appearances at Royal Ascot every year. And this year is no dIfferent: King Charles and Queen Camilla are not the only royals who've showed up to the Berkshire racecourse. Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips, alongside his NHS nurse girlfriend Harriet Sperling attended on Thursday. And on Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – who were celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary – joined the King and Queen in the royal carriage procession down from Windsor Castle. They were joined by Charles' sister, Princess Anne, her husband Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, niece Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edo Mapelli Mozzi, as well his other niece Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike. There, they join hundreds of thousands of other punters, who are there to watch the racing as well as socialise and have a drink or two. While they are believed to very much enjoy the event, it has been reported that the King and Queen were not just at Ascot for pleasure, but also for a more serious reason. The royal couple are said to feel strongly that Royal Ascot is an important showcase for both the British racing industry and the UK as a global tourist attraction, more generally, and their appearance highlights its importance in the social and racing calendar. Ascot's head of corporate affairs, Will Aitkenhead, noted that seeing the monarch and his family is an intrinsic part of what makes the event so popular with the public. He added that the event, founded by Queen Anne in 1711, has seen record attendance figures all week. 'Three hundred years later, we are still putting on top class racing,' he explained. 'Thirteen monarchs through to His Majesty The King now. The support of the Royal Family for the meeting is incredible. People really look forward to seeing them here. 'Sometimes they have runners on the day and sometimes they are just here to support the industry, but either way they are an intrinsic part of the day. 'We welcome guests from around the world in particular America, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, UAE and across Europe. Royal Ascot is also broadcast in 180 countries. 'Horses from Japan, France, Germany, Norway, Australia, America, Ireland and Qatar compete, and lots of jockeys from overseas as well. Royal Ascot is a huge soft power asset for Britain.' A royal aide agreed, stressing how much Charles, 76, had embraced the 'sport of kings' so loved by his late mother and enjoyed interacting with so many members of the public, adding: 'The King feels it is important to show support for what is a huge industry and global showcase for the UK, especially given the number of high-level international visitors it attracts. 'He also genuinely enjoys the chance to catch up with old friends, celebrate royal tradition and see members of the wider public particularly given the [health] issues [he has endured] over the last year.' One of the more intriguing aspects of Ascot is the dress code - which differs depending which of the enclosures guests are visiting. For example, no dress code rules apply in the Windsor Enclosure, although the majority of guests choose to dress up regardless. Meanwhile, a strict dress code operates across the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures. Hats are a must in both Royal enclosures. Alternatively, a headpiece or 'hatinator' with a minimum base diameter of 4 inches (10cm) is also acceptable. Dresses must be knee length or longer and forget spaghetti straps - all shoulders must be a minimum width of 1 inch (2.5cm). Strapless, off-the-shoulder and one shoulder items are also banned in the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures. Shorts of any kind are not permitted. But having been included in the dress code since 1971, trouser suits remain a popular choice - although they mustn't be mismatched. From 2017 onwards, jumpsuits have also been accepted as Ascot worthy, while men must stick to black dress shoes worn with ankle socks, but there are no footwear specifications for women. The dress codes are adhered to despite the temperatures, which reached record heights on Thursday - the hottest day of the year so far. But as the mercury soared to temperatures in excess of 32C –almost 90F – racegoers clad in their finery, including full morning suits for the men, began dropping like flies. At least one person was taken to hospital and more than 40 treated for heat-related illness. As the Hawaii-topping highs of 34C were predicted for tomorrow, in contrast, Honolulu, capital of the US Pacific Island state, is only forecast to reach 29C (84F), while Barbados should hit 32C (89F). The mercury soared to temperatures in excess of 32C –almost 90F – seeing racegoers clad in their finery, including full morning suits for the men, begin dropping like flies. At least one person was taken to hospital and more than 40 treated for heat-related illness. The last time Britain reached 34C in June was almost six years ago on June 29, 2019, at Northolt and Heathrow. The record for the month is 35.6C (96.1F) on June 29, 1957, at Camden Square, central London. As The UK Health Security Agency issued a four-day amber heat health alert from noon on Wednesday until 9am on Monday, even Newcastle-upon-Tyne is forecast to hit 31C (87.8F) tomorrow. The agency warned 'significant impacts are likely' across health and social care services because of high temperatures, including a rise in deaths – particularly among those aged 65 and over. An official heatwave is logged when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days, with thresholds varying from 25-28C (77-82F) in different parts. Temperatures are set to fall back to the mid-20s by the start of next week.
